Transit advocates made a last-ditch effort Tuesday to revive a proposal to expand mass transit in Central Indiana, but the issue seems destined for further study.

Lawmakers will consider a compromise crafted by Ron Gifford, executive vice president of the Central Indiana Regional Corporate Partnership. He suggested a House-Senate conference committee adopt both proposals under consideration: a House bill passed in February to allow voters to decide on expanding transit and a Senate measure that would put a version of the bill before a summer study committee.
